Hi World!
My best images come when I get to the photographic high — living through the lens and absorbing that world. When I do that, everything else disappears. It's almost as if I have blinders on to the world. It's the feeling I get when I hear the shutter, that all familiar sound — fingers wrapped around the right side of the camera, feeling the rubber; left hand on the simmering tension with the tip of the thumb and index finger; elbows locked in; fierce eyes... and just absorbing — doing my job. This justifies letting everything else go, becoming one with my tool, actually becoming one with the world and myself, through my lens
CAREER HIGHLIGHTS
I was a photojournalist for over 20 years. My specialties include editorial/lifestyle photography, travel and sports. I am a PRCA Certified Photographer and enjoy shooting rodeo and western lifestyle images. I have a passion for beautiful places and travel photography. I've been published innumerous newspapers and magazines across the country. I'm proud to have won awards including some from the Texas Press Association, National Newspaper Association, PopPhoto, Society of Professional Journalist, and 2003 Nikon International. Here are some of my accolades. Check out my blog to get a glimpse at how I go about capturing images and some of my thought processes,
TECHNIQUES
I’m self taught as a whole, however, I've studied with several masters over the years: Joe McNally, Eddie Soloway, and Jay Maisel, understanding and absorbing their perspective, take from it what works for me and make it my own. I found their teaching valuable beyond belief, but I still believe there is no substitute for camera in hand, taking in all that you see. I have been teaching photography classes since 2010, which I really enjoy because it makes me reevaluate and validate all that I know before I send it out to the students.
